Nayna Pujari rape and murder case prompts authorities to enforce strict guidelines for safety of employees
They are leaving nothing to chance. After the gruesome rape and murder of software professional Nayna Pujari (27) in the first week of October, IT companies are taking precautions to ensure the safety of women.
They are asking women employees to leave early from work and even providing them with laptops, swanky mobile phones and Internet connections to enable them to work from home.
A female software programmer from a company in Dhole Patil Road, told MiD-DAY, "After the Pujari episode, we are being asked to work from home rather than stay back late."
Nayna, who worked withu00a0 Synechron Technology, went missing on October 7 after she could not get a cab.
She took a lift in a cab, which had a substitute company driver and security personnel from her organisation, travelling in the car. She was found dead a day later in Rajgurunagar, some 30 km away.
